Bible Update: Leather on the mend!



The covers are still detached and the spine is non existent, but the covers are looking better.  See, much better: when it was much more messed up


1. PVA

2. Acrylic paint, colored to match

3. Mending tissue (preferable kitakata)




The color has been infilled and the corners have been patched with several layers of tissue, PVA, and acrylic.



There will still be a final coat of micro-crystalline wax, but that will be the final step at the end of the restoration.



As usual, all restoration materials are from Talas.
